Disney things that bother me

[Disney5]

Mickey's nephews/nieces - we see them in several cartoons over the years. What are their names and why have we never met his brothers/sisters???

[fantasmicmom]

And why haven't we ever met Huey, Dewey, and Louie's parents either? Do they exist?

[Disney5]

That's right! Are the adopted??? Where are they the majority of the time???

[Tink]

lol.
I have rarely seen the mouse kids, but Huey and the other boys don't seem to have parents. They live with Uncle Scrooge.
I was actually thinking last year during the Christmas video that Donald and Daisy were the parents. I have no clue. lol

Again we're going back to Disney killing off the parents!! LOL I think Mickey's nephews all actually started out as kids from an orphanage and the nephew role evolved from there.

OH! I know what happened to Huey, Louie, and Dewey's parents.....they flew south for the winter, stopped off at a lovely serene lake full of ducks and then BOOM! BOOM! down they fall an a lab picks them up and they made it to someone's dinner table!! :D Yes, I'm sick, I know!

[Disney5]

Lol! Danette, you know you're gonna get edited if you scare too many moms and kids! lol.... good one!

Shawna, I know that one of the nephews' names is Mortimer, but I don't know the rest.

[Disney5]

Thanks Marykat, sure didn't know that! How on earth did you come across that info?

[marykat71702]

Wierd trivia seems to stick in my head--I'm not sure why.

[Disney5]

Lol - that's great!!!! My weird things in my head are all numbers I don't need to remember, but I can't get them out!!!

O.K., Shawna--just for kicks, I googled Mickey Mouse. It turns out he has quite a family! Nephews: Morty(okay, I thought it was Mortimer), Ferdie, Monty, Marmaduke, Morrie, Timmy, Billy, Freddy, Huey, Georgie, Dewey, Louie, Ronnie, and Donnie. He has one niece--Maisie. Did you catch Huey, Dewey, and Louie in there? Aren't they ducks? Disney must have been ahead of his time with inter-animal relationships!:) Erin

Lol Erin - the ducks were the first thing that got me - OMG! Impossible! lol...
I think Morty is short for Mortimer - I was searching through some other stuff today and saw the name as well.

Wasn't Mortimer mouse like the enemy of Mickey in one of the first mickey movies? For some reason I remember an enemy mouse that was mean.

[fantasmicmom]

Didn't Mickey and Mortimer fight over Minnie Mouse in the early cartoons?

[Disney5]

I think you guys are right now that I think about it!
